Anti-Israel Cornell Student Facing Deportation Again After Suing Trump
Momodou Taal avoided having his student visa terminated by Cornell in the fall, but now, ICE wants him to surrender.

An anti-Israel protester at Cornell University, Momodou Taal, who is suing the Trump administration to stop the government from deporting antisemitic noncitizens and those with âhostile attitudesâ toward America, is now facing deportation â again.
Mr. Taal filed a lawsuit seeking to block the government from enforcing President Trumpâs executive orders, which pave the way for the deportation of certain noncitizens. The complaint was filed in the wake of the federal governmentâs detention of a former Columbia University student, Mahmoud Khalil. The Department of Homeland Security alleges Mr. Khalil, who is an Algerian citizen and leader of pro-Palestinian demonstrations, âled activities aligned to Hamas.â A federal judge temporarily blocked the governmentâs attempt to deport him.
